a young and inquisitive eastern phoebe against an #EmeraldBackdrop for today’s #BirdOfTheDay 🪶
at first, i totally read today’s #BirdOfTheDay as #AmongTheReptiles instead of #AmongTheRipples 😂 in the spirit of that, here are mallards and a hooded merganser sharing a log with some turtles next to water lol 🪶
not the most spectacular of pictures, but i am fond of this northern harrier #InFlight for #BirdOfTheDay 🪶
Cardinals lost but i made it on the broadcast so i guess it’s a wash (just to the left of the foul pole, cream jersey, red undershirt and both hands raised)
i am obsessed with this blue-winged teal from late last month. such a stunning shade of blue #BirdOfTheDay #Preeners&Scratchers 🪶
always blown away by how big pelicans are (look at that tiny tern on the right) #BirdOfTheDay #WorldOceansDay 🪶
a lifer lark sparrow from my trip to the Sherburne National Wildlife Refuge yesterday truly elegant birds, and i love their black and white tail feathers in flight #BirdOfTheDay #BranchingOut 🪶
an inquisitive cedar waxwing for today’s #BirdOfTheDay #LookingAtYou 🪶
throwback to a few winters ago for this white-breasted nuthatch it’s a small morsel, but every bit counts in the winter #BirdOfTheDay #FoodInBeaks 🪶
playoff kickball is here. opposition doesn’t want these hands (no fr, they forfeited)
a simple change in focus can make a big difference, which many of our bird friends bank on to stay safe two dedicated killdeer parents in this photo #BirdOfTheDay 🪶
